Official title

A Randomised, Double-blind, Study Comparing ARIMIDEX™ With NOLVADEX™ as Neo-adjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment in Post-menopausal Women With Large Operable (T2 (≥3cm), T3, N0-2, M0) or Potentially-operable, Locally Advanced (T4b, N0-2, M0), ER+ and/or PR+ Breast Cancer.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to compare tamoxifen, versus a newer treatment, ARIMIDEX, which we already know to be well tolerated. The main objectives of this research study are to see whether using these drugs will shrink down tumours before surgery and to see if any shrinkage in the tumour affects the extent of surgery that is required.
